mike viqueira, i'm watching chris christie live, governor christie, with the president, and it seems as though mr. christie was kind of made for this kind of situation. he seems to have embraced this in a really -- but seriously, mike. he does, doesn't he? >> well, here's a guy who, i think he would describe himself this way. he's very new jersey. i mean, he's very emphatic, he's very emotional. jonathan used the word "bombastic," i don't think many people would object to that characterization. he empathizes quite well. he's very demonstrative. and i think that as a leader of a state that is undergoing what this state is going through this week, and will doubtlessly be going through, if you've seen some of these pictures for weeks and months to come in terms of recovery and getting back on its feet, on the jersey shore, that he's probably very well suited to this role, and i think that both of these men, the president, as you see them now walk towards the microphone, are well suited to each other. compliment each other, almost. and i know that a lot of republicans are going to have a

no, it's difficult, and i think it also helps chris christie because christie looks authentic, looks like he's putting his state first. the problem for mitt romney is he's an also ran in this story no matter how you look at it. anything he does is going to look crass. like, for instance, having a relief rally in ohio, for instance, rather than going to where the damage is. so anything he does looks almost by nature too political. and he can't actually do anything. he can't do anything certainly for chris christie. going around with mitt romney and his secret service detail through the affected areas of new jersey would actually cause more problems and wouldn't help at all, whereas going around with the president helps him look at the damage, really view it for himself. he can actually get something out of doing that with the president. i think romney unfortunately is the odd man out. >> and here are the words that chris christie can never say again in this campaign. he said this just 11 days ago in virginia. let's listen to this. >> he never anything in his life, so the president doe

face. >> i want to see that play out. >> chris christie -- chris christie has done a number of different things here. first, he's been responding to the disaster full credit for him for doing that. but you know, just in terms of the crass politics of it he has in expressing for a start his sense of respect for being on marine one, that whole i've got to pinch myself, you know, we have not heard that, which is what normal people when they come up to a president. we have not heard from from republicans at all for the last four years. it's great to hear people have respect for the office and institution of the presidency, whatever their state of need, whatever their state's need. but or piece of is it, you know, the two pieces of the republican argument against the president is that he's out of his desk. chris christie saying that president is not out of it he's on it, he's there for me. yes, the bipartisan saying he promised to unite the country, he's failed to do so, it's not bromance. it's what elected officials when they're not campaigning, are supposed to be doing, serving the people.
